### 2.2. The SNMP Group

    -- the SNMP group
    --
    -- a collection of objects providing basic instrumentation and
    -- control of an SNMP entity.

    snmp     OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mib-2 11 }

    snmpInPkts OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX     Counter32
        MAX-ACCESS read-only
        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
                "The total number of messages delivered to the SNMP entity
                from the transport service."
        ::= { snmp 1 }

    snmpInBadVersions OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX     Counter32
        MAX-ACCESS read-only
        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
                "The total number of SNMP messages which were delivered to
                the SNMP entity and were for an unsupported SNMP version."
        ::= { snmp 3 }

    snmpInBadCommunityNames OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX     Counter32
        MAX-ACCESS read-only
        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
                "The total number of SNMP messages delivered to the SNMP
                entity which used a SNMP community name not known to said
                entity."
        ::= { snmp 4 }

    snmpInBadCommunityUses OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX     Counter32
        MAX-ACCESS read-only
        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
                "The total number of SNMP messages delivered to the SNMP
                entity which represented an SNMP operation which was not
                allowed by the SNMP community named in the message."
        ::= { snmp 5 }

    snmpInASNParseErrs OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX     Counter32
        MAX-ACCESS read-only
        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
                "The total number of ASN.1 or BER errors encountered by the
                SNMP entity when decoding received SNMP messages."
        ::= { snmp 6 }

    snmpEnableAuthenTraps OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX      INTEGER { enabled(1), disabled(2) }
        MAX-ACCESS  read-write
        STATUS      current
        DESCRIPTION
                "Indicates whether the SNMP entity is permitted to generate
                authenticationFailure traps.  The value of this object
                overrides any configuration information; as such, it
                provides a means whereby all authenticationFailure traps may
                be disabled.

                Note that it is strongly recommended that this object be
                stored in non-volatile memory so that it remains constant
                across re-initializations of the network management system."
        ::= { snmp 30 }

    snmpSilentDrops OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX     Counter32
        MAX-ACCESS read-only
        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
                "The total number of GetRequest-PDUs, GetNextRequest-PDUs,
                GetBulkRequest-PDUs, SetRequest-PDUs, and InformRequest-PDUs
                delivered to the SNMP entity which were silently dropped
                because the size of a reply containing an alternate
                Response-PDU with an empty variable-bindings field was
                greater than either a local constraint or the maximum
                message size associated with the originator of the request."
        ::= { snmp 31 }

    snmpProxyDrops OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX     Counter32
        MAX-ACCESS read-only
        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
                "The total number of GetRequest-PDUs, GetNextRequest-PDUs,
                GetBulkRequest-PDUs, SetRequest-PDUs, and InformRequest-PDUs
                delivered to the SNMP entity which were silently dropped
                because the transmission of the (possibly translated)
                message to a proxy target failed in a manner (other than a
                time-out) such that no Response-PDU could be returned."
        ::= { snmp 32 }
